ADDICTION

Descent Into Heavy Drug Use | Part Four

There was a point where I began to want to get sober. During the last two years of the four years I was with my boyfriend I went back and forth about this in my head.

ADDICTION

Descent Into Heavy Drug Use | Part Three

Over the years, many people tried to get me to use heroin. My fear of the unknown and possible overdose prevented me from doing so. I finally crossed that threshold. On my usual search for pills, I came up with nothing.

ADDICTION

Descent Into Heavy Drug Use | Part Two

At some point, I stopped taking my Adderall because the doctor wanted me to start seeing her every month. I was not about to start letting her inspect me face to face while clearly sleep-deprived and strung out on Amphetamines and painkillers.

ADDICTION

Descent Into Heavy Drug Use | Part One

Growing up, I was a very hyper child and craved attention. At the age of 12, around the time of my brother’s death, I went into counseling for his passing. I received a prescription of Seroquel and Klonopin for sleep and anxiety.
